An Autobiography or The Story of My Experiments with Truth narrates the life of a great man, with an even greater soul, in his own words. At the heart of his autobiography is Gandhi's struggle for Absolute Truth. For him, God was Truth. Recording moral conflicts from his schooldays to his marriage, his failings and atonements, his journeys abroad and experiences in Africaandhi's participation in the Indian independence movement, Gandhi reflects on the lessons he has learnt from his domestic and political engagements. He also candidly discusses his personal views on celibacy, fasting and vegetarianism, alongside the struggle against colonialism and racism. First published in installments in journals, both English and Gujarati, the book covers Gandhi's life from childhood until 1921. Not as much an autobiography as a series of reflections on his spiritual experiments in the quest to be one with God, the book reveals the man who went on to become the Mahatma.
